dotvim

~/.vim directory: there are many like it, but this one is mine.

Installation

Option I

Install my dotfiles using the provided installation script.

Option II

git clone https://github.com/dpoggi/dotvim.git ~/.vim

pushd ~/.vim

git submodule update --init
scripts/post_update.sh

popd

ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc

# These are optional, depending whether you use gVim or any Vim-alikes
ln -s ~/.vim/gvimrc ~/.gvimrc
ln -s ~/.vim/ideavimrc ~/.ideavimrc
ln -s ~/.vim/xvimrc ~/.xvimrc

Windows

Installation in Windows environments (except for WSL) is broken-ish because autoload is symlinked into the pathogen submodule. Workaround hacks:

• Replace the non-working "symlink" with a real NT symlink (mklink), then run git update-index --assume-unchanged. mklink will require administrator privileges, unless you're running the Windows 10 Creators Update with Developer Mode enabled.
• Delete the symlink, copy pathogen/autoload to autoload (easy mode).

Customization

Both vimrc.local and gvimrc.local are gitignored and will be loaded by .vimrc and .gvimrc respectively at the end of their runs. plugins.local shares the same gitignored status but is loaded near the very beginning of .vimrc, and can be used as follows to disable plugins:

let g:pathogen_disabled = ['plugin1', 'plugin2', 'etc']

Note that the plugins need to be named by their directory in bundle/, not their "official" repository name. Sorry for renaming everything in bundle/, the decision was made a long time ago and would be tricky to change now.
